The Pittsburgh Steelers have a bye this week, but are spending their time looking for answers to an 0-4 start. Coach Mike Tomlin challenged the effort of his team, which prompted responses from a number of players, including safety Ryan Clark.

Tomlin hopes one such answer comes along the offensive line, where he's opted to bench Mike Adams for Kelvin Beachum. Marcus Gilbert, who kept his starting job, talked about the challenges the unit faces.

Rookie running back Le'Veon Bell said "We're not going to change nothing." The rookie scored two touchdowns in his NFL debut and could be a spark moving forward.
